Hooker's letter only just reached Wilson in time: the sets of Mosses are so nearly ready that he had ordered a packing case for ten sets and would have dispatched them to London on Monday. He will now wait for a few days and send a larger box; he contemplates waiting longer to include a parcel of specimens for Mr Lea. Wilson thinks Hooker will prefer to have them sent thus to Mr Pamplin, but they then may have to wait until the end of the next week. Ten sets of Mosses are grouped together and eight sets are still in a dispersed state. Wilson is to send a set to a friend of Mr R.B. Bowman's. Wilson suggests that Hooker call on Pamplin to find out how many sets are to be sent, reserving those which Hooker has designed for America. Wilson hopes Hooker's anxieties will soon come to an end. In a postscript he notes that an outside title page is enclosed, which is intended to be pasted on the sets when made up into parcels; one on white paper with fly leaf will be inside. Page 1 of 1.
